Bike Snob Speaks

One of the reasons I have not given up my car completely, is that I love to listen to public radio while I drive. Today's story of interest was about bike commuting in New York City ( something I would one day like to try as NYC is my second favorite city after SF). What was interesting, was hearing the voice of Bike Snob New York, who was interviewed for his perspective on cycling in NYC.

I love BSNYC's acerbic sense of humor and think his unique perspective is a valuable one. He is usually right on the money and he makes sure that none of us takes ourselves too seriously. True to form, he had some interesting things to say in the interview and is worth listening to.

thanks for the link! I was at home when it aired and was going to listen to it, but then I had to pay attention to the kids for something and tuned it out. Later my husband who heard it driving home asked me if he heard it. He said " there was some bike blogger from NYC who spoke, um um Bike um um" I said " bike snob?" and he said " Yeah! Bike Snob NYC! That's it!"

And I we talked about it. I told him what I gathered from BSNYC, they would agree on a few things. ( That Electra bikes are pitas!)

anyway- long post to say I wanted to hear it and now I can without searching for it! Thanks!
